"Rubble Flora: Selected Poems" introduces a major German poet to the English-speaking world. This selection of poems by Volker Braun spans an extraordinary half-century of poetry (1963 2013).

The literary principle of his work lies in the friction of these different voices, whether cast into free form, collage or classical verse. Cumulatively, his poems offer a searing vision of the here and now. "
